I need help removing the turntable on a Panasonic SL-N15 Turntable. I have
a new belt but can't get the turntable off to install it. The turntable has
a chrome 33 1/3 spindle in the middle with a plastic 45RPM spring-loaded
insert around that. When I lift up on the turntable it moves 1/8 to 1/4"
but I am afraid to exert any additional force. Does anyone know if there is
a catch (release) on it somewhere. The man where I bought the belt said
that most simply pull off but was not familiar with this one.

Dennis Duke:
Pull evenly, briskly and harder.... it will come off.

While pulling upwards using the finger holes, tap on the center spindle
with, for example, the plastic handle of a screwdriver.
